The heat wave continues! So I am taking advantage and wearing all of my dresses. I love the deep red color of this one and I can see myself styling it with some boots and tights later in the fall. I am so happy that the weekend is finally here. It has been the kind of week where you start counting down to Friday....on Tuesday.

This weekend baby O and I are attending a play date titled "Babies and Ladies"...which is funny because sometimes baby O and I can swap the titles and it would still fit. For example: when we visited the doctor this morning, she was such a little lady taking that Flu shot like a champ....and I was the baby fighting back the tears!

This past weekend we took baby O to our local zoo and had a great time. Although it is sad to see wild animals in captivity (I'm pretty sure the lion was looking at me thinking "yeah let's see you confined to this cage") it was a good day and baby O got to see some animals she has been reading about up close. I am in awe of our little girl, she is so brave (feeding that giraffe like a pro... did you notice I stayed safely back "taking the picture"?) and she is always having fun. Sometimes I wish I could swap places with her so I could rediscover the joys of the little things....like running through the misters on a hot day!

On the fashion side, I finally gave the whole peplum trend a try and I am happy to say I am a convert. The top I am wearing isPim + Larkin (via Piperlime.com) and the jewel tone will be fun to wear through the fall.
